Education Priorities for Chemica Engineers in Green Process Engineering

Green Process Engineering - Environmentally Conscious Design of Chemical Processes - is one facet of the broad issue of sustainability. It provides some answers to the question How can chemical engineering practice and technology help to move the products and processes towards sustainability? Green Process Engineering is based on the design and use of processes and products, which are feasible and economical, whilst minimizing pollution and risks to human health and the environment. Focused on Process Engineering, the congress provides a unique opportunity for discussion between chemical engineers and scientists of various chemical disciplines in order to favor synergies between innovative chemical routes and new application technologies. This conference also aims at bringing together leading international researchers from industry, academia, and governmental institutions to discuss the current status of the field, as well as to assess the progress of green product design and the advances in the integration of green engineering into global solutions for sustainability.
